8. The Flash

DC Comics recently reinstated Barry Allen as the Flash, although other characters have taken the mantle over the years. The Flash is the fastest man alive — so fast he can run across water or up buildings — and even vibrate his molecules to pass through solid objects. His gym is equipped with a Cosmic Treadmill too, which running enables him to time travel.

Must-Read: Look for this summer’s big DC Comics event, Flashpoint, where the Flash ends up in an alternate reality. Batman is really Thomas Wayne (Bruce’s father), and Superman is a prisoner of the government.
